What is your aim in DanceSport? To fulfil our feeling for music and movement.

Is there something in DanceSport today that worries you? The political issues take too much focus away from the development of the couples and dance itself.

What would you do if you have - unexpectedly - a day off? Just relax!

What kind of movie could motivate you to go to the cinema? Anything from funny to scary! Just to have a chance to go to the cinema would be great.

Do you have other talents that nobody knows so far? Not really!

How do you cope with stress and a bad mood? They are both part of the life we choose to live, so we talk about our problems or go for a long walk.
